Hi , Paul ,
You should also try to provide the direction of motion as a
vertex angle .
> time approximately 6.25 pm.
If you want a solid ID , it's generally vital to have the time
to within a few seconds , because there are so many objects
in ( often similar ) orbits .
This is so bright you may have a little more leeway .
For future use , even if you are totally surprised , it's
generally possible to obtain the time to 5 seconds or so .
Immediately obtain the best possible time from any available
clock .
You or a companion may be able to count seconds as "one
thousand and one , one thousand and two" , etc.
Then find an accurate clock and compare your "bad" clock .
This helps immensely .

Did you check against dead objects , ( formerly ? )
tumbling ?
Cheers ,
Walter
